It popped up over a week ago on ABC News, and since then, pretty much every media organization out there has done a quick story on it. Grayson was asked to no longer bring his Rainbow Dash backpack to school, and now the head honchos over at the campus are reworking their request and welcoming it with open arms. Instead of focusing on fixing the issue via removing the Dashie, they are looking into solving the bullying problem at the root.
As pointed by The Blaze:
Rhodes said the district has “discussed a number of options to consider in moving forward for Grayson,” all of which include “a safety transition plan and an allowance for Grayson to bring the bookbag to school.”
I guess making national headlines sends things into overdrive.
So now that that is over with, how about we convince all these news organizations to build a giant statue of Luna on the moon? Something we can see with a telescope near the polls. Get on it citizens of Equestria Daily. -
One of these days I'm going to give Fallout Equestria another shot. It's just such a massive story to tackle.
Anyway, ONWARD TO ART!

I'm sure this is how some pony tumblrs feel after getting a spot in the limelight considering some of the reactions we've gotten over the past two years! Today we're going to be freaking out a few more ponies in a special edition of the Tumblr Spotlight by focusing on some of the OC pony tumblrs out there. Not all great tumblrs are made up of characters from the show, but instead are brought to life by interesting and charming OCs that have found their place in the amazing land of Equestria (or beyond!).
As always, if you have a tumblr you would like to share, whether it is your own or someone elses, please make sure to send it my way at calpain@equestriadaily.com or my Twitter for review and filing. Mature themed ones (PG-13) are welcome as well!
Now on to the tumblrs!

Herd Census 2014 Released!
by Calpain
After extensive research by the people behind the Herd Census (with a little help from a certain Purple Smart) we now have the first results for the 2014 census! Have some highlights sent with the census below as well as a link to the huge census itself.
- Males are down to 81% of the fandom, continuing a trend of more female Bronies- Mean Brony age rose 8 months between 2013 and 2014 to 20.88 years- Russia is now the #4 country of Brony residence, and US Bronies now make up only 58% of the Herd- Utah has the most Bronies per capita in the US, Mississippi continues to trail the pack- Median household income for Brony zip codes was $61,578, more than $10,000 over the national median- Bronies identifying as 'furry' rose from 17% in 2013 to 21% in 2014.- 84% of Bronies identify as exclusively or mainly heterosexual- 45% of Bronies are also Anime fans, 19% are comic book fanatics- 10% of the fandom joined since Season 3 ended- 61% of Bronies approve of Twilight's alicorn status, but more disliked the idea of Equestria Girls than liked it- Half of Bronies use YouTube as their primary means of watching the show, 24% of US Bronies watch mainly via The Hub- More than a third of Bronies purchased a MLP comic book in the last year- Bronies are more open to new experience than the general population and have higher scores on agreeableness, but do not test higher for introversion- Twilight Sparkle continues her domination of Statistically Best Pony, and Luna has moved up into third position. 8 Bronies voted for Tom as best pony. Applejack is again left out of the Statistical Mane 6- Twilight is also the most identified with pony, but Luna is most liked in episodes.
